WEBVTT DON'T KNOW HOW THE DOG AND WIFE WENT OVER. [LAUGHTER] HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. FIVE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PLAYOFF TEAMS WILL BATTLE FIVE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TEAMS FOR STATE TITLES. ONE TEAM IS MODESTO CENTRAL CATHOLIC. THE TEAM IS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF FROM TOWN FOR THE GAME TOMORROW AGAINST BAKERSFIELD CHRISTIAN. WE ARE JOINED BY THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND AN OFFENSE EVENT DEFENSIVE LINEMAN. HOW COOL IS IT TO BE IN THIS POSITION AND HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH IT MENTALLY? UM, WELL, WE ARE ALL REAL HAPPY TO BE HERE. IT IS JUST A REAL FUN THAT WE ACTUALLY MADE IT AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. YOU HAVE TO KEEP CALM AND REMEMBER IT IS ANOTHER GAME. WE HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. YOU ARE THE FIRST TEAM TO PLAY 32 GAMES IN TWO YEARS. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW YOU DEAL WITH THAT AS AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE VERY CHALLENGING. BACK-TO-BACK YEARS WE BASICALLY PLAYED NFL SEASONS. IT SEEMS LIKE ONE YEAR JUST KIND OF BLENDS INTO THE OTHER. WE GO PRETTY HEAVY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER. IT IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE. THERE ARE 10 TEAMS THAT ARE STILL PLAYING FOOTBALL IN CALIFORNIA AND WE ARE ONE OF THEM. JUST CURIOUS, DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS OR DREAMS OF PLAYING BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL? IS A BOWL, A TITLE GAME LIKE THIS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE SEEN? IT IS DEFINITELY LIKE A GOOD GOAL TO HAVE. I'M DEFINITELY KEEPING MY OPTIONS OPEN. I THINK LAST YEAR IT KIND OF HELPED ME GET MY NAME OUT THERE. HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK HARD.
